The Leader weekly poll - drugs in sport

A year-long government investigation has found widespread use of banned drugs
in Australian professional sport and links with organised crime. The Australian
Crime Commission released the
findings of a 12-month investigation into the integrity of Australian sport
and the relationship between professional sporting bodies, prohibited substances
and organised crime.

It said the links may have resulted in match-fixing and fraudulent
manipulation of betting markets - and it was hopeful criminal charges would be
laid.

The key findings of the investigation identified widespread use of prohibited
substances including peptides, hormones and illicit drugs in professional
sport.

It said that in some cases players were being administered with substances
that have not yet been approved for human use.

This week we ask readers if their opinion may change should their favourite team be implicated in the findings?
